Advantages.

• Modular design, base units built at any port, delivered and finished at dedicated offshore assembly yard.

• Assembly yard situated adjacent to wind farm site, minimising towing distance.

• Complete units delivered with the turbine tower stowed within the central column.

• Turbine tower raised on site without cranes, winches, ect. inherently safer.

• Tower can be lowered on site to facilitate repairs, renewals, upgrades. 6 - Tower raised or lower without changing the draft of affecting stability.

• Mooring system pre-laid and anchors tensioned by installation pontoon

• Moorings individually tensioned from the floating turbine's working platform.

• Moorings can be tensioned to eliminate heave, minimise movement and maintain verticality.

• A novel method of securing the turbine tower is envisaged.

• Access to the working platform from small craft via a spiral staircase. Inherently safer.

• Treated fresh water ballast protects the internal steelwork and introduces lubrication.

• An innovative method of installing the inter-array cables is envisaged.

• Variable draft to suit particular site.

• Small water plane area, extremely stable.

• An option to use the concrete ballast as the base structure, replacing steel.

• 17 Easily modified to suit any size of turbine.

• Dedicated installation pontoon available to change blades, nacelle or major repairs.

• Package includes the port infrastructure required to build production line.

• Easily de-commissioned or re-located to another site.
